Above the Clouds
How
How
How can I rise
Above the dark clouds
To expansive blue skies
Escaping a world of lies
Lightning flashing under my feet
Dancing to a thunderous beat
Rain laid beneath me
Like a glass sheet
Jumping higher
An intergalactic flyer
Gravity cannot hold
New images unfold
Past the moon
To the stars
Beyond close to what is far
No limits on my mind
Other dreams and worlds to find
All images diamond lined
Limited knowledge redefined
Before I know it
I am pulled back
A mind under attack
The string that tethers me no longer slack
Journey shorter than it seemed
A hoped reality only dreamed
Returned to earth
Beneath the clouds
sometimes life is way too loud
I cut the tether to rise again
Above the clouds
beyond the rain
So I'm lifted
On words that I write
Free to travel
On wings of light
